Chronic Pain Empowerment Support Group @ Orcas Senior Center:
Wednesday January 12 at 10 a.m. by Zoom
||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
Orcas Senior Center hosted its first Chronic Pain Empowerment Group via Zoom on December 8. While we had a good turnout of participants, more are always welcome.
During the meeting people shared their personal stories in dealing with pain, what works for them, and also began to empower each other through sharing. Being in constant pain has many debilitating results, among them fatigue, social isolation, and depression.
How people cope and manage their pain is unique to each individual. Sharing methods and sometimes just talking in a safe environment can be in itself empowering.
This will be an ongoing program through Orcas Senior Center meeting via Zoom to start. The group will meet the second Wednesday of each month, with the next meeting scheduled for January 12 at 10 a.m. For more information, please contact Jim Glozier, Companion Services Coordinator, at (360) 919-9318 or Jim@orcasseniors.org.
